post/validate/v1/vat1 credit

Validate an EU VAT number via VIES → validity + registered company name & address.

Working example

Parameters

vat_numberrequired

The VAT number to validate against EU VIES. Either a full VAT incl. the 2-letter country prefix (e.g. 'IE6388047V', 'DE811569869') or just the digits when you also pass `country`. Spaces/dots/dashes are ignored.

countryoptional

ISO-3166 / VIES country code for the VAT number (e.g. DE, FR, IE, NL). Optional if `vat_number` already starts with the prefix. VIES uses EL for Greece and XI for Northern Ireland; GR/GB are accepted and mapped.
